NY400 Week
Location
New York City
Four hundred years ago, Henry Hudson and the Dutch ship the Halve Maen ('Half Moon') arrived at what is now New York Harbor. This year, NY400 Week celebrates the spirit of tolerance and entrepeneurship of New Amsterdam, qualities that continue to permeate American society.
Rent a Dutch bike for free and sample delicacies in New Amsterdam Village and experience a unique theater festival, a DJ Dance Event and cutting-edge Dutch design on Governors Island. Take in the rich shared history of New York and New Amsterdam at renowned cultural institutions. NY400 Week culminates on Harbor Day (Sunday, September 13), with even more celebrations on both land and water, along six scenic waterfront sites that are easily accessible by bike, subway, foot, ferry and water taxi.
Their Royal Highnesses the Prince of Orange and Princess Máxima of the Netherlands will participate in the celebrations of NY400 in New York from September 8 till September 13.
